Intercity Route

Delhi Amritsar

A private transfer from Delhi NCR to Amritsar, home of the Golden Temple and the Wagah Border ceremony, via the NH-44 expressway through Punjab.

Amritsar is Punjab's spiritual and cultural heart, anchored by the Golden Temple (Sri Harmandir Sahib). Our private transfer from Delhi NCR covers roughly 450 km via NH-44 in around 7 hours, running through Karnal, Ambala, and Jalandhar on a well-maintained expressway.

Most visitors combine a Golden Temple visit with the Jallianwala Bagh memorial and the famous Wagah Border retreat ceremony at sunset, a dramatic display of military pageantry on the India–Pakistan border about 30 km from the city.

Because it's a long drive, many customers travel overnight or start early morning to make the most of a day in Amritsar. We can also arrange a Delhi–Chandigarh–Amritsar multi-stop itinerary, or a return trip timed around the Wagah Border ceremony.
